Clarification of holiday pricing schedule for Shanghai copper EQ cathode premium

Fastmarkets is clarifying the holiday pricing calendar for its twice-weekly Shanghai copper EQ cathode premium assessment.

In line with Fastmarkets’ existing holiday pricing calendar, MB-CU-0412 Copper EQ cathode premium, cif Shanghai is not published on UK bank holidays.

The assessment will therefore not be published on Friday December 26, which is a public holiday in the UK, and instead will be published on Wednesday December 24.

The pricing holiday calendar has been updated to reflect these changes. You can find the pricing holiday calendar here.

These prices are a part of the Fastmarkets Base Metals Prices package.

For more information or to provide feedback on the amendment of the pricing schedule or if you would like to provide price information by becoming a data submitter to these prices, please contact basemetals@fastmarkets.com and pricing@fastmarkets.com. Please add the subject heading “re: Shanghai copper EQ cathode premium.”
